Wed., Feb. 23: Dee Goodz teaches a little history

What more than an out-of-nowhere, 17-year-old reference to TLC's Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes burning down her mansion do you need to know to understand Dee Goodz? Well, how about the fact that he’s one of the fastest rising names in Nashville’s hip-hop scene, with an assured, versatile flow, a taste for good beats of all speeds and, obviously, a healthy sense of humor?

Dude’s also smart enough not to stick to one scene — on Wednesday, Feb. 23, he pokes into The End (2219 Elliston Place, 321-4457). Hopefully, more than a few Rock Block regulars have gotten wise to golden-age East Coast jam “Lisa Lopes” or the “A Milli”-esque “Bananas.”
